Florida Couple Gets 4 Years For Stealing Land From The Dead

In Southwest Florida, The News-Press reports:

• A Broward County couple convicted of stealing land from the dead in Lee, Charlotte and Collier counties will spend the next four years in federal prison. Howard and Sheila Henry fraudulently obtained between $200,000 and $400,000 in property from 2001 to 2005. They illegally acquired the property by forging documents and selling the land. The pair would use the Internet to find property with several years of unpaid taxes, then connect those properties to deceased people. [...] Both Henrys were convicted in federal court in Miami for charges in an unrelated real estate scheme and were sentenced late last year and early this year. They were both sentenced to less than four years and all sentences will run together.
